SELVAGE .ATTACHMENT FOR TEMPLES.

Original application filed March 1, 1326Se1ia1 No. 1927. Serial This invention relates to a selvage attachment for temples, and hasfor its primary object a construction rthat is adaptable to various types of temples now on the market and which, when arranged in position, will coact with the selvage of a web to assure a uniform width of the web and capable of controlling and directing the engagement of a cutting device with the thread to be cut.

An object of the invention is the novel construction of selvage device auton'latically operated in the movement of the laybeam so as to properly function with the selvage of a web and to periodically act to properly direct the thread to be cut into operative engagement with the cutting device.

Another object of the invention is the de sign of a devire that is adjustable so as to regulate the action of the device in the operation of the temple and the web passing there Besides the above, our invention is distinguished in the combination and arrangement of parts that will readily accommodate itself to lighter orkheavier webs without in any way sacrificing the efficiency thereof.

lith these and other objects in view, our invention will be better understood from a description of the same when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure l is ank elevation of the device attached to a loom; 'f

Figure 2 is an end elevation;

Figure 3 is an end elevation lookingin a direction opposite from Figure 2;

Figure l is a front elevation;

Figure 5 is a top plan view;

Again referring to the drawings illustrating one of the many constructions of our invention. the numeral l designates in its entirety a temple construction which may be of the construction shown in our co-pending appli 'ation tiled March l., 1926, Serial #91,626, the present lapplication being a division of that application.

Our improved selvage attachment consists of an attaching plate 2 carrying the attaching bolts 3 whereby the plate may be rigidly and properly connected to the support of the temple with which the selvage fork is assoelated. fr lever Ll is swingingly` mounted 91,626. Divided and this application ledMay 11, 110,490,623. e

upon thepivot bolt 5 carried by the plate 2 and this lever has rigidly connected thereto the armol or selvage fork proper terminating in a pointed extremity 7 arranged in a predetermined position relative to the cutting `knives 8 that form a component part ofthe so that in the sliding movement ofthe stop the point of engagement between the stop and lever may loey controlled for varying the swinging movement of the lever and thereby the association of the pointed extremity 7 with the selvage of a web.

Referring to Figure l, it will be noted that we arrange a roller, 13 on the laybeam 14 so that in the swinging movement of the latter the roller will periodically engage the lever 4 for swinging the same in position against the action of the spring 9, thereby mechanically moving the pointed extremity 7 relative to the selvage and the thread that is to be cut by the knives 8. kThus the selvage fork performs the dual'function of controlling and aso suring the uniform width of the web and the proper directing of the thread into operative engagement with the knives.

From the foregoing description taken in Connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be appreciated that we provide a very substantial construction of selvage device that may be readily connected to temple structures now on the market and which, when properly positioned relative to the selvage of the web, will engage the' same to properly control the width of the web and the directing of'a thread intooperative engagementwith the` cutting device associated with the temple.`

It will also be appreciated that the construction and positioning of the lever 4 is such that the same maybe periodically struck inthe movement of the laybeam so as tolimit the operation of the device to such times as a change of shuttle takes place so as to materially reduce the number of operations and thereby increase the life of the device as a whole.

It is, of course, to be understood that the den n sign ofthe various parts may be changed and the parts associated in other relations than illustrated in the draivin'g and, therefore, We do not desire to be limited in any respect except as set forth in the appended claims.

We claiml. 4ln a loom, the combination With the lay,

i the breast beam, and the temple rolls thereon,

of a seliff'age loop forming and retaining means comprising a lever pivotally mounted in upright position upon the breast beam, a

f weft-thread engaging point supported by the lever and Yprojecting downwardly in proX- imity-to the temple rolls, a spring connected .f kivitli the lever and with the temple and yieldably `holding ther lever inactive position, an

abutment mounted uponthe temple and have ing' its upper end directed toward the lever and engageable by the portion of the lever above its pivot to limit the movement of the lever to active positiomthe yabutment being adjustable to vary the elevation of its said end with respect to the pivot for the lever, and means upon the lay engageable'ivitli Vthe upfq. perportion of the'lever to actuate the lever to elevate thepoint in the movement of the lay toward the breast beam.

2; ln a loom, the combination with the lay, the breast beannand the temple rolls thereon of a selvage loop forming and retaining means comprising a lever pivotally mounted in upright position between its ends upon the breast beam, a weft-thread engaging point supported by thelever and projecting doivn- Wardly in proximity to tlie'teinple rolls, l spring connected with the lever below its pivot and with the temple and yieldably hold i ing' the lever in active position, and abutment j arin slidably adjust-ably mounted opposite the lever upon the breast beam and having its upper end'presented in position'iior engagement by the lever to limit the movement of the lever to active position, and vmeans upon the lay engageable with the upper portion ofthe lever to aetuate the lever to elevate the point in the movement or' the lay toward the breast beam.
